The Ultimate – Tiny House Foundation
By Your Request – The Best Tiny House Trailer Plans! These purpose-built blueprints create a strong, engineered Foundation for your Tiny Home. Don’t settle for trailers meant for other uses – start with a design made specifically for the needs of a Tiny House.
The trailers have a strong perimeter to support the wall and roof loads, an I‑Beam frame for high strength, and an integrated low deck for more interior vertical space. Choose the 20′ length trailer, the 24′ trailer, or the not-so-tiny 32′ Trailer; – Or, you can go WIDE with a 10′ Width deck, or the Park Model 12′ Wide trailer plans.
Explore the design detail of a solid foundation, or read the engineering case study. Then, download the plans and start your build.
NEW – Gooseneck Trailer Blueprints
Gooseneck trailer blueprints are now available for select deck-over sizes. Find them on the Deck-Over trailers catalog page. Pick your size, then read full specs on the product page.
New designs, from the start, because engineering a gooseneck is much more than simply adding beams to the front of a bumper-pull trailer. Plans include purpose filled features like the engineered gussets for higher strength, lower stress, and lower weight than a classic large triangle plate. And, they offer better access. See more on the product pages.
Utility Trailer Conversions — Torsion Axle and Tilting Deck
Plans at Mechanical Elements are always improving. Now a Tilt Top Conversion for our popular 3500 lb. Utility Trailer Blueprints! Convert one of our regular Utility Trailers into a Tilt Top. Works with both Leaf Spring suspension and Torsion Axle Trailer blueprints. Conversion plans are on the Accessories Page. Also, read the intro article for details and compatibility.
We also have Torsion Axle Conversion plans to convert any of our 3500 lb., 6000 lb., and 7000 lb. single axle trailers with a Leaf Spring Suspension into a Torsion Axle Trailer. The new conversion blueprints cover several trailer sizes not previously available with a Torsion Axle.
Yes, these are all Fully Engineered (like all our blueprints). Some sites brag about “Engineer Approved” plans. We do one better . . . these are from the Engineer. Get your project started with this guide to choose Trailer Blueprints.
